FARGO'S DILEMMA.

SIeeial TO the Globe.
FARGO, Nov. 11.-NOw that the Pro-
hibitionis:s have scored their victory,
the local cunundrum is what will they
he able to do with it in this city. Those
who tackle it reach divers conclusions,
but it is the prevalent conviction that
there need be no new excessive demand
for the unstimulating fluid brought from
the Red. Saloons will not be disturbed
until the meeting of the county board,
Jan. l. Some will close before and open
in Moorhead; others will open billiard
halls. with only temperance drinks
visible to the local option eye, and
others now assert their determination
to continue to sell publicly without
license, retain lawyers and fight in the
courts. The bawdy houses are not
licensed, but pay regular fines, and the
theory is advanced that saloons can run
in the same way. If the courts view
the 'smisdemeanor" moderately. it is
possible that the cost this way Will not
be greater than high license. There
are professions of acquiescence in the
law that are not construed very Sc
riously. But the situation has not as
yet taken shape for satisfactory dag
noSiS.

KIMBALL, Nov. 1.-THE closest times
that we have yet seen at the polls in
Brule county have been during the re-
cent campaign. The w. c. 7. U. have
been organized for work for some
months, but have only been down right
hard to business for about three weeks,
while those who diSapprOved of local
option had no general organization, but
possessed some good workers. Mrs.
Barker, leading spirit of temperance,
resides in this county, and has assisted
in managing the campaign, to certain
extent but the leading spirits have
been Messrs. Hayes, Baggs, Butler and
Roberts, and MeSdames Ward, Roberts.

born. Sunday and Monday were days
devoted by the saloon men to diStribut-
ing various jugs and kegs of ''vote-pro-
ducer''-together with sundry boxes of
cigars-at the different township poll
ing places-a job that was well done.
Early on Tuesday the women appeared
at the city polling quarters laden with
prOfusiOn of sandwiches, cakes and pies.
These, with hot coffee, they dished out
to all who would partake. One big
German. who rams a saloon, said:
''These tam vimenS! l get me mine
peer und cigars und geef dem away too
tam qleek!" but was prevailed upon
not to by the authorities eXcommuni-
eating the ''vimmin.''
The interest upon division was hardly
agitated, the general ballot being largely
in favor of divisiOn-but not over a two
thirds vote was pOlled.

YANKToN, Nov. 11.-Gen. Hugh
Campbell furnishes the GLOBE cor
respondent with an estimate Of the ma
jOrities for and against division in
South Dakota OF North Dakota S vote
Mr.. Campbell has no reliable informa-
ton. He says that, when it is considered
that there was practically no issue i'll
South Dakota but division and local
option, the vote poIled is very decisive.
Said Mr. Campbell, 1T shows that,
should there ever be clean-cut contest
on this matter in South Dakota, the vote
would be overwhelmingly for division.
Next summer we expect such contest.
Division will be the issue hereafter,
and divisiOniSts of South Dakota will
join hands with divisionists of North
Dakota" The returns on this question,
as furnished by Mr.. Campbell, are:
MajOritieS against division: Brown
200, Edmunds 100.
For division: Aurora 800, Beadle

THE ILLNESS LETTER.

The letter of Commissioner SPARKS
to Mr.. ILLNESS, explanatory of the order
and law in regard to the indemnity
lands, seems to have given encourage
ment to parties filing claims upon i'm
proved farms hardly warranted by a
diSpaSsiOnate view of the situation.
This is to be regretted, as it will be
likely to increase the embarraSSmentS
and hardships that must come upon the
contestants upon the one side or the
other. 1t is very small satisfaction to
the men who have bought large tracts
of land from the railroad, and spent
time and money in converting them into
farms. now to be told that they
can retain 100 acres by payment of the
government price. Nor is it cheer
full suggestion to them that they can
look to the railroad vendors of the lands
for their remedy against want of title.
They would be apt to look in that direc-
ton long time before they derived
much satisfaction from the view.
Even if they should by suit recover
from the railroad the original purchase
money, if it did not cost more than it
amounted to, it still would be small
part of the present value of the i'm
proved lands. There is no way by
which the new claimants can gain pos
session of the lands without working
very great injustice to the men who
bought and cultivated them. The prem
ises the commissioner assumes, that the
railroad never acquired valid title
to the lands, may be accepted, and
that it sold property to which it had
no good claim. The road should
be responsible to the government for
The price at which the latter held the
lands. OF course, this view involves a
legal difficulty resting upon the title to

JAMESTOWN, Nov. u.-SOme addi-
tiOnal information in regard to the re-
cent Indian scarce was obtained from
George Faribault while in this place en-
route to Fort TOtten yesterday. Fari-
bault is the Indian Interpreter and head
farmer at the Standing Rock Indian
agency; is an old timer in the North
west, and was in the Sioux massacre in
MINI eSOta on the occasion of that
memorable event. Faribault says that
the telegraphic report of trouble and
dissatisfaction among the Sioux
Indians at the Standing Rock agency
were, as usual, sensational to a
degree. 1.-The reports - he said, .'seem
to come from parties who are endeavOr-
ing to force the war department to send
more troops to Fort LidcOln, the post
that is so dear to the hearts of Bismarck
and Mandan people" While the Crows
are dissatisfied he says there is nothing
in the report that Sitting Bull, of the
SiOuXS, had left the reservation for a
conference and was in a war-like state
of mind as result. "'Chief Gaul." he
says. lis friendly to the whites and OPP
posed to trouble Gaul has not forgot
ten how, few years ago. the Crows
aided the government to hunt him
down when he was hostile" The chief
''medicine man. of the Crows has in

and has greatly worked upon their SUI
perstitiOn by claiming that the spirit of
his dead father had appeared to him in
a dream and told him that the Crows
should make war upon the whites for

they would conquer.

THE DEFINITE FIGURES.
Returns i'm North Dakota Come in
SlOwly---Maj. Edwards Puts the
Division Majority at 10000 in
the Territory.

Special to the GloDe.
FARGO, Nov. 11.-So little interest
was taken in the division question in
North Dakota that few local papers give
the vote of their counties, and no at
tempt is made to give any reliable esti-
mate of the majority against division.
Mai. Edwards thinks the whole terri
tory may have given 10000 majority for
division, but has no estimate of the
North. As reports come in it is found
that anti-division majOrities are larger
than have been published at st. Paul.
1t is evident that the North is emphat-
ically opposed to a division. There is
no doubt that the anti-divisiOnists who
voted, added to those who refused to
vote, have a big majority in the whole
territory. In the North the result is re-
garded as black eye for division, as
this section has refused its consent. AS
local option affecte only the counties
voting ON it, there is no attempt to ag-
gregate the votes.

Does Not Denote Decrease.

FARGO, Nov. 1.-THE vote in this
city on the option issue was no doubt as
near full as it has ever been at any cleo
ton, and yet it was considerably less
than OH some former occasions. With
out explanation this would seem to be
unfavOrable to the growth of the city.
The diminutiOn is due to the departure
of some of the floating and day laboring
classes, and is confined to the river dis
tricts mainly. There has been decided
increase in the sections where there is
much taxpaying. There is substantial
and steady, but not rapid growth, and
constant additions to the ranks of those
who comprise the bone and sinew of
metropolitan thrift and development,
although only experts can, perhaps,
swell the latest census figures.

achievement in this county. They made
q remarkable canvaSS-One that, in COM
pleteneSs of detail aud general eff
cheney, was worthy of any campaign

Cold BlOOded Murder.

Louis Nicholson was shot and instantly
killed by Amos Rhodes at logging camp
four miles south of Manistee on the 2jth
ult. During the past four months Nickel
son had employed Rhodes and wife as
housekeepers on his farm, few miles
south of Manistee, and during the spring
Nicholson has been engaged, in addition
to his farming duties, in logging about
one mile from his farm. The day before
the murder Rhodes came to Jark's store,
in the village of Oak Hill, and bought
some buckshot and after he had put the
same in his pocket remarked that he was
going to boot Nicholson. Returning to
the farm Rhodes learned that Nicholson
had gone to his logging camp to load logs.
Rhodes took a gun, loaded it and said he
woull hunt up and kill Nicholson. The
son of Nicholson, hearing the remark, ran
to his father and apprised him of his dan
ger, but his father treated il as scare.
Soon after Rhodes appeared where Mick
elson was at work with half do en- men,
and getting with n twenty feet Of Nickel
son called out to him: IF you have any
thing to say, say il, as | nm going to shoot
youb Nicholson said go away. and
don't modest me in my work whereupon
Rhodes aimed the gun and fired, over 100
shots striking Nicholson in the left breast,
some penetrating to the heart causing in
slant death. Rhodes returned to his home
and went TO bed. where he was afterwards
ARE ted and paced in Jail The friends
of Rhodes claim that Nicholson has been
intimate with Mrs. Rhodes and that
Rhodes is crazy.
